Greece still
hopeful of
bailout
Charleston
A 21-year-old white man accused
of murdering nine people in a historic
black South Carolina church appeared
in court on overnight by closed-circuit
television from the jail where he was
brought after his arrest at the end of a
14-hour manhunt.
Dylann Roof, 21, stood quietly
through the hearing, providing brief
answers to the judge’s questions,
confirming his name and address and
saying he was unemployed before
family members of several of the nine
worshippers he is alleged to have
shot dead at the nearly-200-year-old
Emanuel African Methodist Episcopal
Church spoke. Some said they forgave
Roof.
Judge James Gosnell, who had no
authority to release Roof on the nine
murder charges he faces, set a bond of
$1 million for the one gun charge he
faces.
Roof remains in custody.
The attack came in a year that has
seen waves of protest across the United
States over police killings of unarmed
black men in cities including New York,
Baltimore and Ferguson, Missouri,
sparking some of the largest race riots
the nation has seen since the civil rights
movement of the 1960s.
From United States President Barack
Obama, who said the attack stirred
memories of “a dark past,” to residents
on the streets of Charleston, Americans
expressed outrage at an act intended
to provoke a “race war” in the United
States.

Athens
Greece says it is still hopeful an
11th-hour deal can be reached
before it defaults on its debt as
the European Central Bank threw
Greek banks another lifeline as
depositors withdraw their savings.
“Those who invest in crisis and
terror scenarios will be proven
wrong,” Prime Minister Alexis
Tsipras’s office said overnight,
amid reports Greek banks are
struggling to cope with a rush of
withdrawals.
While new emergency European
meetings have been called to break
the deadlock in talks to unlock
bailout funds, the brinkmanship
between Athens and its creditors
has pushed Greece close to a
default that could lead to a messy
euro and EU exit.
A billion euros ($1.46 billion)
were withdrawn from Greek banks
yesterday, following another 1.6
billion euros over the two previous
days, financial website euro2day
reported.
The Bank of Greece insisted
the country’s banking system was
stable, but sources said it appealed
to the ECB, which increased the
emergency liquidity level available
for Greek banks by an unspecified
amount at an emergency meeting
overnight.
According to state agency ANA,
the funding cap was increased by
3.3 billion euros.
EU President Donald Tusk has
called an emergency summit of
the leaders of the 19 eurozone
countries in Brussels on Monday
after finance ministers failed on
yesterday to break the five-month
deadlock between the anti-
austerity government in Athens
and its international creditors.
Tusk told Greece the situation is
critical.
“ We are close to the point where
the Greek government will have to
choose between accepting what I
believe is a good offer of continued
support or to head towards default,”
he said in a video message.
French
President Francois
Hollande insisted that “everything”
must be done to seal a compromise
on the Greek debt crisis.
We must “do everything to
relaunch negotiations, so the talks
can achieve a compromise, but one
in line with European rules,” he
said.
Hollande
said
Monday ’s
emergency
eurozone
summit
would be “crucial”.
In a move that seemed calculated
to irk other European leaders
amid tensions with Russia over
Ukraine, Tsipras was visiting
Saint Petersburg as the star guest
at President Vladimir Putin’s
investment drive forum.
Greece has little time left to
agree a reform deal in order to
secure the remaining portion of
its multi-billion-euro bailout,
which it needs to avoid defaulting
on a debt payment of around 1.5
billion euros to the International
Monetary Fund due on June 30.

Waterloo re-enactment
Historical re-enactors in period dress as members of the Allied Army participate in a practice drill in Waterloo, Belgium. Around 5000 historical re-enactors
will amass to stage the first battle re-enactment, the French attack, in front of around 200,000 spectators from around the world. The event will mark the 200th
anniversary of the Battle of Waterloo. The 1815 battle saw the overthrow of Napoleon Bonaparte and the restoration of Louis XVIII to the French throne.
Murder accused appears in court
India
Fifty-three people have died in
Mumbai and 28 others have been
taken to hospital after drinking toxic
home-made liquor, police say.
Dhananjay Kulkarni, Mumbai
police deputy
commissioner,
said the victims started to fall
ill on Wednesday morning after
consuming the illicit moonshine.
“The number of dead has risen
to 53,” the commissioner said
overnight, up from an earlier death
toll of 41.
“ Twenty-eight others are receiving
treatment after consuming the
liquor. Crime branch is investigating
and three suspects are being held in
custody,” Kulkarni added.
The three men, aged 30, 47, and 50,
were arrested yesterday, he said.
The commissioner also said eight
police officers have been suspended
for a “negligent approach while
discharging their duty” for failing
to stop production and sale of the
liquor.
Bootleg liquor is widely consumed
across India where it is sometimes
sold for less than a dollar for a
small bottle, with deaths frequently
reported.
It is rare however for such incidents
to occur in a major city like Mumbai,
with most cases taking place in poor,
rural villages.
Kulkarni said it was the worst case
of its kind to be recorded in the
western Indian city in more than a
decade.
“Such a tragedy happened in 2004
when more than 100 deaths took
place,” he explained, referring to the
“ Vikhroli hooch tragedy”, named
after the suburb where the victims
lived.
The victims of the latest incident
were residents of a slum in the
suburb of Malad West, in the north
of the city.
In January, more than 31 people
died near Lucknow in the northern
state of Uttar Pradesh after drinking
a lethal batch of home-brew.
Methanol, a highly toxic form of
alcohol used as an anti-freeze or fuel,
is often added to bootleg liquor in
India as a cheap and quick method
of upping the alcohol content.

Toxic liquor kills 53 in India
Hobart
Firearm amnesties will be held
across Tasmania in a bid to keep
guns out of the hands of crooks.
Unregistered
firearms
and
ammunition can be handed in
on Saturday with no questions
asked about their origin, or fear of
prosecution, Sergeant Peter May
said. “Any gun handed in to us is
a gun that cannot then be stolen or
used by criminals,” he said.
Officers will be at locations in
Hobart, Launceston, Port Sorell
and Ulverstone today.

London
A suspected stowaway has been found
unconscious in the undercarriage of
a plane that flew into London from
Johannesburg and police suspect a body
found on a roof is that of a man who fell
from the same flight.
The man found alive yesterday is
believed to be 24-years-old and had
been hiding in the undercarriage of the
British Airways plane for the entire 11-
hour journey, according to police. “ His
condition is now described as critical,” a
police statement said.
A second man may have died falling
out of the same flight, with police
finding his body on the roof of an office
in Richmond, which is under the flight
path to London’s Heathrow Airport.
A police spokesman said that the
possibility was “one of the lines of
inquiry.”
Outside temperatures during the
journey would fall as low as minus
60degC.
“We
are
working
with the
Metropolitan police and the authorities
in Johannesburg to establish the facts
surrounding this very rare case,” a British
Air ways spokeswoman said.
The body was found on the roof of the
offices of notonthehighstreet.com, an
on-line retailer.
“Officers and the London ambulance
ser vice attended and found the body of
a male on the roof of the premises,” the
company said.
“The death is currently being treated
as unexplained but early indications are
that the body may be that of an airline
stowaway,” the statement said.
Hady Khoshkbary, who runs a printing
shop next door, said, “ We were very
lucky that the body did not drop on the
road.
“Already this is a tragedy but that
would have been horrific to see this
incident,” he added.
There have been several cases of
stowaways being found dead clinging to
the landing gear of planes.
In 2012, a man from Mozambique fell
from the undercarriage of a Heathrow-
bound flight from Angola onto a street
under the flight path near Richmond.
An inquest found that he may have
sur vived freezing temperatures for most
of the flight but was “dead or nearly
dead” by the time he hit the ground.
